I love playing musical instruments like Yamaha keyboards. I love composing music though I find it is very difficult to do with my software that I have downloaded as it is a demo version and I can not save my files. So, can you compose music or play any musical instruments?

I wish I could compose music .I have always wanted to learn playing guitar and keyboards too.Wow but I guess now like you have mentioned maybe I need to find a software that will enable me to compose and it could be a way to make some money as well as you could compose songs and who knows turn into a big singer but I am straying now lol

yes! infact, i just finished two songs three weeks ago..the other one, we used it as our entry for the Doxology Competition. so i taught 15 students to sing and dance with that song that i composed ( my bro made the music and i did the lyrics). it's a choir - singing with choreography. we won for the school level then 1st runner-up for the division level just last Friday, November 20.. though, quite sad since we were the champions last year! yet still, we praise God for such achievement! there is more reason to be happy right? what's important that God is pleased that we made the most out of the talents He has given us.

I don't think so..i think composing a original music is a bit difficult i consider musicians as equivalent to chess masters...

Hi, cyber. I don't know how to compose music of any kind. I would like to learn this. I still have not learned how to burn CD'S on a computer. I don't even know how to download a ringtone to my cell phone. I have to learn these techniques one day. I can't play any instruments. I can try to play them. I do like playing the chimes.

I used to. When I was in high school. I play the piano. When I am in the mood, usually when very upset or "in-love", I love making up songs. But I haven't shared any of my compositions to anyone before. Sort of embarrassing.

I have composed music for my GCSE and my AS level exams. It is definetley a talent, that some are better at than others, but once you have a basic knowledge of musical theory you cant go too wrong. The software I used at my secondary school was called Cubase and the software I use at college is called Sibelius - however I think they are very expensive programmes, which is a shame. I play the alto sax and flute.
